Herein, an ultrasonication approach was used to anchor In2S3 quantum dots (QDs) onto oxygen-doped graphitic carbon nitride (O@g-C3N4), resulting in a novel heterojunction catalyst. Characterization techniques validated the successful incorporation of In2S3 into the O@g-C3N4 matrix, with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicating the existence of In2S3 QDs measuring 6.62 nm. The photocatalyst

Over the past few years, nanotechnology and nanomaterials have played a crucial role in the agriculture sector. Notably, among different types of nanomaterials, the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown significant attention owing to their porosity, organic composition, biocompatibility, and tailored structural and compositional properties. Herein, in this research work, we have effectively prepared

Efficient recovery of palladium (Pd) from waste sources is of paramount importance due to its limited natural reserves and potential environmental hazards. Herein, a carbon sorbent, namely sulfur-functionalized porous carbon microsphere (SPCM), was used to selectively capture Pd(II) from acidic solution. SPCM exhibited high efficiency for the adsorption separation of Pd(II) from 0.5 M to 6 M HNO3 solution

Electrochemical oxidation (EO) for the removal of antibiotics is a promising technique because of green and sustainable electrical−to−chemical energy conversion. However, the interaction mechanism between different electrolytes molecule and organic pollution along with the generation pathway of reactive oxygen species remain unclear. Here, the β−PbO2 electrode was successfully prepared and employed

Bimetallic Ni/Fe-nanoparticles has been developed to enhance the dechlorination reactivity of nano-sized zero-valent iron. The physical structures of Ni/Fe-NPs with Ni loading ranged from 0.5wt% to 20wt% and the structure dependent reactivity variation towards to trichloroethene (TCE) and carbon tetrachloride (CT) have been fully investigated. A Ni-accumulated surface can be observed for the Ni/Fe-NPs

Naturally-occurring iron oxide nanoparticles provide reactive surfaces for the reduction of nitroaromatic compounds, which are common groundwater pollutants, by Fe(II). In many natural aquifer systems, iron oxide minerals continuously react with groundwater pollutants and other chemical species. To closely emulate field conditions, continuous flow columns packed with hematite-coated sands were used

Considering the increasing interest in utilising nanoparticles (NPs) for advanced, safe, and sustainable coatings, this paper addresses the toxicological concerns associated with Nickel-Silicon Carbide (Ni-SiC) electroplated nanocomposite coatings as an alternative to conventional chromium electrodeposition. We present Ni-SiC nanocomposite coatings as potential substitutes and conduct a comprehensive

Advances and applications of nanotechnology inevitably lead to the release of nanoparticles (NPs) into the environment, particularly zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO). This review focuses on the toxic and nutritional effects of nZnO at both cellular and physiological levels, as well as the corresponding molecular mechanisms involved. Understanding the cellular transport and dissolution characteristics
